Precautions

On safety

N

Caution – The use of optical instruments with

this product will increase eye hazard.

N

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by

qualified personnel before operating it any

further.

On power sources

N

The player is not disconnected from the AC

power source as long as it is connected to the wall

outlet, even if the player itself has been turned

off.

N

If you are not going to use the player for a long

time, be sure to disconnect the player from the

wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord,

grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

N

Should the AC power cord need to be changed,

have it done at a qualified service shop only.

On placement

N

Place the player in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.

N

Do not place the player on a soft surface such as

a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the

bottom.

N

Do not place the player in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

On operation

N

If the player is brought directly from a cold to a

warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside the

player. Should this occur, the player may not

operate properly. In this case, remove the disc

and leave the player turned on for about half an

hour until the moisture evaporates.

N

When you move the player, take out any discs. If

you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a

section with very low level inputs or no audio

signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged

when a peak level section is played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft

cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or

benzine.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your player, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD

cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This player is capable of holding a

still video image or on-screen display image on

your television screen indefinitely. If you leave

the still video image or on-screen display

image displayed on your TV for an extended

period of time you risk permanent damage to

your television screen. Projection televisions

are especially susceptible to this.
